Comedy. 4m, 5w. 2 interior sets. Lester Pelham is the mild-mannered creator of the television world's leading two-fisted private eye, Tough Molloy. One day a package is delivered which contains a stolen diamond. Lester inadvertently swallows the stone and, when the thieves show up to recapture, Lester gets a shot at playing Tough Molloy in a rollicking show that is pure comedy. Highly recommended for Little Theatre and High School casts.
Drags a little for a high-action comedy. Plot is unique. Requires romantic duo and 2 sets, with set change at intermission to a more complicated one. May be a possibility with some editing for time.
